Columbia Threadneedle Investments, the global asset management group, today (27 November) unveiled it will adopt new “Sustainability Focus” labels under the FCA’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) for nine funds across global equities, UK equities and multi asset funds.
The nine funds adopting the “Sustainability Focus” label include four global and UK equities funds - CT Sustainable Opportunities Global Equity Fund, CT Sustainable Global Equity Income Fund, CT Responsible Global Equity Fund and the CT UK Sustainable Equity Fund – and the five funds that make up the Sustainable Universal MAP range - the Defensive, Cautious, Balanced, Growth and Adventurous funds.
The adoption of the new labels further highlights Columbia Threadneedle’s commitment to providing both financial returns and positive sustainable outcomes for investors wishing to achieve both objectives within their investment portfolios.
Greg Skinner, head of UK institutional and insurance at Columbia Threadneedle said: “The new SDR labels reflect our commitment to providing sustainably focused products as part of our offering to clients who are looking to focus their investments on more sustainable outcomes.
"We are passionate about helping our clients navigate sustainable investments in their portfolios and excited to adopt these labels across the range of funds”
Columbia Threadneedle also announced its ambitions for two fixed income funds to adopt a Sustainability label at a future date.
